im not a fan to be honest.... the cosmetic updates are just different to what we already have, not necessaryily better. they freshened things up, but I think the two tone colour scheme looks a little tacky.
but hey, if it sells more units- go for it.

Looks like you lose oil pressure and volts meter on the SS-V too... I like them!

The exterior changes are very subtle!! The only differences I can pick on the SSV/SV6 are a slightly different front bar and the chrome boot garnish above the number plate!

The interior looks nice though. I don't mind those round vents at all. And the touch screen looks like fun.

Also, I see the V8's will be E85 compatible too. Anyone know if running E85 in the V8's will affect power output?

Too bad they STILL can't get the colour of the bumpers to match!

The round vents made it to the SSV ... possibly the SS & SV6 as well?

oh god! Those vents are nasty! And I don't think I'm a fan of the piano-black detail either. Is a much smarter location for the screen though. The dash cluster looks a little more interesting as well. I like that! But not the two-tone dash.

I wonder why the buttons that you'd use most on the screen are on the passenger side? That makes no sense - even if they are re-introducing it to North America and Brazil.

And I definitely like the way the dash flows on the SSV rather than the big chunk cut into the Calais - just need to have the rectangular-ish vents across the range.
